The
Awful Dr. Orloff
(Horrible Dr. Hitchcock and Awful Dr. Orloff) (Gritos En La Noche)
(Cries In The Night)Based on a novel by David KuhneHispamerJesus Franco

Dr. Orloff and his blind, hunchbacked assistant Morpho kidnap young
women, drain them of blood, and use their skin in an attempt to graft
a new face onto Orloff's daughter's badly disfigured face. The film
is essentially erotic horror with large portions of the film committed
to documenting the deranged Morpho's attentions to the female prisoners
before their eventual demise and surgical disposal. Although gruesome
and sadistic in content it was popular with its target audience and
spawned several sequels.

A plastic surgeon tries out a new reconstruction process on the badly-scarred
face of a mentally ill female. The woman escapes from the clinic, taking
with her the necessary medication to keep her new, beautiful face up
to scratch. She eventually marries a wealthy man and goes on honeymoon
but, on their return, while driving in a car, she runs out of the medication
and her face returns to its previously deformed state. Her husband tries
to escape but she runs him over before returning to the clinic for new
supplies. Once there, she is discovered by the surgeon's assistant who
tries to stop her and in the ensuing fight she falls to her death.

The
Doll
(La Poupee) (He, She Or It)Films Franco-AfricainsJacques Baratier

Set in South America, a revolution occurs in a banana republic when
dissidents take control using the wife of the assassinated governor
as a figurehead. The real power, however, is wielded by a banker who
keeps in the background. The woman is virtually a human robot as a result
of experiments in molecular multiplication carried out on her. The twist
comes when she leads the revolutionists into an ambush and the country
reverts to its original government, once again led in the background
by the scheming banker.

The last of the long-running 'Road' series starring Hope, Crosby and
Lamour, just sneaks into this category. Hope acquires a photographic
memory after taking a strange drug and accidentally manages to memorise
the formula of a top secret super rocket fuel.

A complex plot has them all ending up on the planet Plutonium, wisecracking
their way out of trouble. The film was shot in Britain and features
cameo performances from Dean Martin, Frank Sinatra and Peter Sellers.

Santo is a silver-masked wrestler and first starred in his series of
films, which were a competitor to the 'Neutron' films, in 1952. There
were about 30 'Santo' films made in total and, like the 'Neutron' films,
also contained curious musical interludes. Another similarity is that
these also were made in short, episodic form and edited together to
produce full length films. In this particular one a character called
La Sombra Negra kills Santo's sister to get his hands on a gold mine
situated on her property and is subsequently hunted down and eliminated
by Santo. Another segment features a mad Frankenstein-like doctor who
experiments with monsters made from reconstructed corpses. You
